Punks Against Blair :::
Is Tony Blair a socialist ? No, claims the Punks Against Blair
group, a bunch of politically aware punk bands and promoters.
The « New » Labour government have deceived hopes
for a more social England, after Blair took over office in a country
shattered by 18 years of thatcherism. Disappointment escaladed,
especially due to British involvement in Bush’s Iraqi war
for power and oil. The PxAxB group calls for every listener to
be aware of the great need of a strong socialist base to build
upon a fairer future that is socially responsible and free of
transnational corporations’ claws. Believe it or not : this
is today’s punk message. Of course, Raxola is part of the
movement. Swallow prejudice and get into the move !

Ray Cooper crafts fantastic custom made guitars. To see the finest
axe I've ever played, click on "custom guitars", then
"gallery" and scroll the left column down to the 3d
picture, the "Olympic" style one. It really blows !
Cheers, Ray.

Here’s
a link to a recent interview published in Japan… and in
Japanese !
Well, we obviously cannot check what they make us say, can you?

This
is the homepage of our first producer Firmin Michiels. Never mind
the blank: that's where spirits flows. To tell the truth, Raxola
wasn't exactly what Philips used to release at the time. But Firmin
really wanted to make it within Belgian punk wave: so he did with
Raxola and the Kids, against all odds. He gave us our chance.
Wham bam, thank you, man.

Odieu,
a frenchspeaking howler and singer, doesn't like to be benchmarked
with Jacques Brel; he feels himself closer to Tom Waits. He took
part in the lyrics of Thalidomide Child, the insane underground
Raxola's "two notes hit" in 1978. Incidentally Odieu
is Yke's brother, but who cares?
